Coraline loves to explore and she likes to explore her new house that her family just moved in. One day, she was bored, and bothered her dad, who always works. She wants him to play with her because she feels lonely, but then he said she should count how many doors and windows are in the house. She counted and there are 21 windows, 14 doors but in the drawing room, one door was blocked by the bricks. The next morning, Coraline visited her neighbors - Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, who were once actresses. They said that Coraline was in danger when they looked into her tea leaves. They gave her a stone with a hole in it. Suddenly, when she opened the door that is supposed to be blocked, there was a path to another house that is exactly the same as her house. There is another mom, another dad and other neighbors, but they all have buttons replaced as their eyes. Coraline's other mom has longer nails though. Her other world is always kind to her. They made her food and other fancy things that made her feel happy.
